THE PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION AP PEALS TO THE PEOPLE. A Bill Has Been Prepared for the Leglsla latnrr, and Popular Support is Earnestly Desired The Features of the Adopted Australian Sj stern. The following address is issued by the Pennsylvania Ballot Reform Association: To the Citizens of Pennsylvania: As soon as the Legislature convenes, a bill prepared by this Association will be intro duced to provide for a secret ballot by the Australian system, and for an open count. Thattbe object of the bill may be fully under stood, we present a brief statement of what is meant by ballot reform and the Australian system. The term ballot reform includes all such changes in our present system of registration andoting, and in the laws regulating elec tions, as will keep illegal votes from being cast or counted, limit election expenses, prevent the improper use of money, and put an end to bribery and coercion by making them use less if not impossible. It means whatever will make an election the free and pure expression of the will of the people. The Australian voting system is an effectual measure of ballot reform because it enforces a secret ballot. It was used In Australia (under universal suffrage) in 1M56, and has now- for -soars been employed lij millions of freemen in Great Britain and her colonies as well as in other countries. It has everywhere produced the best results, and has never been given up in any place where it has once been used. Since its adoption in .Massachusetts in 18SS, it has rapidly become popular in this countrv, and is now in use more or less completely in 15 States. The chief features of the t-ystem as adapted to American elections are these: First Nominations can be legally made (as provided by simple regulations) either by party comentions or by the indorsement of a reason able number of citizens without regard to party. The name ot every legally uominated candidate must uu printed on the ballots free of cost to hiin or his supporters. Second Ballots. The publication of candi dates' names, and the nrinting and distribution or ballots, aro paid for by the cnunties. like other election expenses. Only official ballots arc used. All candidates' names and addresses are on the same ballot, grouped by the respective offices but marked in each case with the party or policy represented. Thus: I'lace re GOVhlcMlK. served (Vote for one.) for the mark. Geokge W. DELAMATEn.llcpnblican. Mcadvll.c Jon" D. Gill, Prohibition. -Westmoreland Countr. liOBERT E. Tattisox, Democrat, l'hlladelnhla. Blank where any other name can be inserted. Third The voting is done inside a room.a part nf which is railed off. After each voter has estab lished his right to ote he passes the rail. Au election office then gives mm a "ballot, and he goes to a standing desk which is so closed in as to screen him from observation, and makes . crossmark (X) against tho name of each candi date on the ballot for whom he wishes to vote. After folding his ballot so as to conceal tho marks, he goes to the box and deposits the bailor.-. Blind, crippled or illiterate voters can be helped to mark their ballots by the election officers. Fourth Other precautions for secrecyiBefore the boxes aro opened, the official list of votera.or other means of identifying the parties who cast the respective ballots, must be sealed up, so that the process of counting will not violate the secrecy of the ballot, even while the present cumbrous method of numbering, required by the State Constitution, remains in force. The practical results of the system, are: First The facility for independent nomina tions is a useful check upon party conventions. If the people desire other candidates than those of the party organizations, they can easily name their own candidates. Second All candidates, rich or poor, with or without the support of a party organization, arc on the same footing as regards the official publication of their names and the enabling their supporters to vote without the heavy ex pense of printing and distributing ballots. Third The great decrease in legitimate election expenses, removes the cloak under which large sums have often been collected, ostensibly for necessary expenses, but really to but votes with. Fourth The ballots being official, no legally nominated candidate's namo can bo left off the ticket. Tbero can be no mixed or deceptive ballots by which to "trade off" or "sell out" a candidate Fifth All ballots being alike until marked, the marking being done secretly, and the voter being prevented from showing it to anyone, the ballot is secret. This secrecy is the funda mental object of the system. When it is lni pnsslblo to know bow a man votes, it is useless cither to bulldoze or to buy him. The open court goes hand in band with the secret ballot. Ballots should bo counted under the eyes of the citizens, to prevent all chance of fraud after the polls are closed. A citizen has a right to see what is none with ftis ballot when the box is opened. The open connt is ill use in two-thirds of our States and Territories. We ask the citizens to make it clear to their representatives, that this bill should become a law in its entirety. Further, we ask all those who wish to join the association (which is strictly non-partisan.) to send their names to the Secretary, from whom copies of tho bill can be obtained. Con tributions for the work are also soliced. By order of the Executive Committee. H. L. Fostec, President. Charles C. Binkey. Secretary. Philadelphia, December, 1890. A Pointer.
